Living Our Faith in our Future
My earlier post on Archdiocesan planning drew a number of responses. Some noted the vocabulary in the underlying articles in our Catholic Herald. Those, in turn, drew a post at Catholic Sensibility on whether or not it's significant the articles haven't been Mentioning The Name of Jesus but also on the planning itself.
If I search the Archdiocesan web site for Father Connell's name, I find the Archdiocese of Milwaukee Annual Parish Leadership Conference.
Also on the agenda is "Living Our Faith, our Evangelization initiative". Searching for this I find a solicitation for Living Our Faith Story Ideas. These appear destined for a "livingourfaith.net" web site to come.
There is also a session on "the Capital Campaign: Faith in our Future" which, the juxtaposition indicates, will present Catholics in the Archdiocese of Milwaukee an invitation to engage in a fourth key activity.
The conference is "for pastors, parish council leadership and APC [Archdiocesan Pastoral Council] members". It's on a Saturday morning and there's a $25 fee to attend. ¶ 9/21/2007 12:01:00 PM
